THE SA:. ms SIMPLE WAYS.

How the Village Folk Assist I::.cl, tItlcr.
Out In the Fields.
The author Of life and Society in
Eastern Europe" gives lively picture Of
the primitive customs still kept up among
the Saxon settlers in Hungary. The
reader who is acquainted with the ''log
rollings," the "huskings," and the ''applc
bees" which arc realty society matters in
the new settlement Of this country, will
be interested in these eastern occasions as
perhaps the originals of similar institu-
tons here. The authors Saxon host,
after speaking Of the gypsics and the Wal
JACKS as common farm hands, goes on to
explain how the SaxOns cOntr;vc to
make themselves independent Of such
help:
They Il" tho tlrutlgcry for us: but plow-
ing, sowing, moving and rcaping, being
honorable and nlnnly labor, we ,lo our

throughout the busy seasons of the year.

church Wf Sunday our 'honOral,lcr

trees in the church inclosurc when fine.

Chinese Burned Out.

Los ANGELES, July A.-This morning
about 3 O'Clock fire was discovered in q
gambling den in Chinatown. The fire
companies which we're ordered out soon
appeared, but the slow actions of the
tiremen IN getting water on the flames,
seemed to indicate that they we're not
over anxious to save the buildings. The
fire continued spreading until it had
consumed twenty-five buildings, which
short time before had housed 900
Cinnamon. During the fire an explo
sion occurred in one of the buildings,
which, coupled with the cries and frantic
movements of the Cinnamon, caused
intense excitement for a time. InteIli-
gent Cinnamon place the loss at Si75 =
900, but outsiders estimate the loss at less.
There was but little insurance on the
buildings. Only few days bafo 9 the fire
agents of insurance companies in san
Francisco came down here and can
celled the insurance policies, saying
that with the existing feeling against
the Chinese, the risk was to great to
continue the policies. The origin of the
fire is unknown. One theory is that a
highlander Chinaman, having suffered
heavy losses at the tan game set fire to
the house in order to have revenge
Another theory is that a lamp exploded
in the building. Still another is that
the fire was the act of an Incendiary.

Free Trade.

The reduction Of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manufac-
turers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower" and "Boschee's
German Sylup," as the reduction of thir-
ty-six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine i'll the Is cents size. The
'.Angust Flower" for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup" for
Cough and Lung troubles have, perhaps,
the largest sale Of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, IN every town
aud village i'll civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles fer ten Coy cents remain the
same size.

The Louisiana Delegation and the Ia.
riff Question.
WASHINGTON, !

! WASHINGTON, ]
Jan. 80, 's7. !
Special to Times Democrat.
The situation of the Louisiana dele.
cation, always with the exception Of
Mr.. blanchard and MY. King, in re.
gard to the coming tariff agitation is
quite as embarrassing as it was last
month, when the House decided not to
consider revenue matter. In theory
they are in favor of tariff reform, but
how to accomplish this without imper-
ling the sugar interest is their great
problem. 1.-THE question once gets up
before the House the strongest infu-
ence will be required to preserve the
sugar duties.
Consequently the delegation has
great hesitancy in assisting a move
ment which may have as one of its re-.
suits the reduction of the tariff in Lou
isiana's most important staple. If
they find, as now looks probable, that
they will hold the balance of power
between the two factions they will nat
nrally use it for all it is worth. If,
however, their votes will prevent any
revenue measure from coming before
the House they will vote that way and
thus avoid the danger outlined above.
If they can receive assurances from
both the Randall and Morrison people
that in the framing Of bill sugar will
not be touched they will support the
motion to consider revenue matters
They must, of course, receive very
strong assurances, for it will require
immense influence to keep the hands
of the House off Of sugar if it is found
that this one interest stood in the way
of the passage Of bill reducing the
surplus. The delegation is now on
gagged in ascertaining whether the as
surances referred to can be obtained.
Naturally they are anxious to have
some revenue measure passed this SEES
sion. If this Congress fails to take
any action the next one will be COM
pelled to do SO, and there is no telling
how the next one may do it. If, on
the other hand, a bill can at present
be passed reducing the revenue $780,
100000 or s6o,ooo,oo0 there will
doubtless be no tariff Legislation dur
ing the next Congress and may be not
for several years to come.
